This is seconded by the man who ran straight into a bloody skeleton and had to flee for his life, resulting in excellent RP I might add! ;) But I think this may have already been done, as when I hig the ziggy the skellington ceases its blood-crazed charging.

Oh man, dwarves and halflings are always fun. I might be persuaded to pick the one over the other. We'll see how things turn out, Egon.

Most men only ascribe this terminology to women, and occasionally cars. I think it's appropriate in this particular situation.

That, my friends, is dead sexy.

Heck yes!

If we're on an island (or series thereof) I want a flippin' monkey.

I just read something incredible mentioning PC undead... I did a good deal of looking using search and scanning the Announcements and Info for New Players sections and I'm blind to what must certainly be there.

Somebody help me with a link?

Grazi!

I am certain this has come up somewhere before but I have little time. Yes, I am plenty arrogant enough to assume someone else has more.

Several specific questions on druids.

Most, if not all, eschew metal weapons, armor and helms because they view them as unnatural. However, what is the general opinion on metal itsself?

Rings and necklaces, for example! Would a druid wear only naturally-occuring jewelry, such as bones or feathers, or is a little copper and silver here and there okay?

What about coins? Coins are gold, and artificially manufactured, and yet I have personally known arch-druids who possessed ridiculous hordes of the stuff. (Merchant kings are sucky targets for thieves. Go druid!)

Are spears and scimitars and such assumed to be made of bone or wood if not otherwise specified?

And the biggest question of all, what things, specifically, can druids NOT do. This is my first real druid character and I'd really like to not get spell failure before level four.

Right, I was messing around with my druid this morning, just experimenting with his spells and doing minor quests, and I thought to try Summon Monster II. I've chosen a special summoning theme that fits my character fairly well, and I've been liking it so far (for the first spell) The problem is that the second-level summoning spell brings an abberation to your side. Now, I found out about this when I was alone, but what if a druid were to discover such a thing in the middle of a group of his fellows? I think it would be a good idea to put a warning, small and non-spoilerish of course, next to the summoning themes. "This theme contains constructs. Are you sure you want to continue?" Something along those lines.

Eh?

Well, I'm officially thinking about maybe coming back for just a little while perhaps. Dangit.

But I wonder, what are the available druid wildshapes and animal companions? I know they have been changed per EfU:A setting changes, but I've no idea of the specifics. I'm sure some of it is FOIG material, but links or straight answers would be appreciated.

Edit: I know that the Shifter is a ridiculously difficult prestige class to attain, but I thought I would ask for more detail about that as well. I've read the official NWN description and thought about concepts, but is there any set method? Considering the nature of the PrC, I doubt it. Any further information would be helpful.

Well boys and girls, I managed to get the DMs' permission to post this here, so I guess that's proof that I didn't totally screw up while I was at EfU. Yes, you caught the tone of finality correctly.

I still love the server, but evens are conspiring against me. I finally found a character I can RP without going insane and whose goals are attainable and cool, and I run out of time. You see, college is this fall, and I need to focus on work, scholarships and PSEO (college in high school) or I'm going to tank.

I've absolutely loved my time here and I'm really happy about where the server is going. The factions are all shaping up nicely with new ones popping up all the time. I can't wait to see where the BLEEP plot goes, and hopefully the BLEEP will get slain before Harold gets BLEEPed. *chuckles* Well, it's kind of fun to know about stuff now isn't it? Well, time for goodbyes....

Petey512: I'm not even sure if you're still here, but I know that, one day, you will make a completely successful character whose insane, out-there goals will all come true. Probably sink the Ziggurat back down to the 'Dark... I'll miss ya bro.

Crimson Magician: TRINDEN FAIR!!! BA halfling. Good luck bro.

Everyone Who's Ever Played a Mithrilsoul: Best faction in the 'Dark. You guys were always amazing.

Everyone Who's Ever Had to Deal with me Playing an Emo: I'm truly sorry.

Gwydion: You're a good leader. See you around.

(However you spell Backstabber, Tiberious) You play a good character. Learn to calm your anger. Happy place. Pizza. Life is good.

Cruzel: You're an excellent scriptor... ter... ator... whatever. You play insane characters. I shall miss them.

All of You Guys: Stop powerquesting and go explore. This server is insane.

Howland: I hope you find a good woman.

Well, nothing particularly deep there, but I had to say farewell. I'm sure I'll be in and out, just to look around with an exploration build, but I'm done playing anything serious until college, and that's just plain a dream.

Oh, and if anyone has screenshots of any character I've played, I'd love to see them. Never figured screenies out, kind of sad about that.

Kthxbye

There are a lot of things in EfU:A that cause fear. Enemy mages, creatures with auras of it such as mummies and dragons (dear God in Heaven I hope there aren't dragons on this server...) and those stinking troglodytes.

My question is, how is this roleplayed? Is the aura around those more severe monsters magical, or does it just represent the fact that they are terrifying creatures, requiring some steely willpower to attack? What of the spells that cause this? How does the body of an adventurer react to failing to shrug off the effects of Fear?

This comes out of a mind still unaffected by drugs. Pot is a myth. Boredom destroys minds.

Right, I've figured something out. I've made several posts about my computer and its infuriating habit of killing me IG. However, I have realized that the problem is my video card. My processor/RAM are adequate, if not excellent, but my video card is failing. It was good when I bought it, but it has overheated many times, sometimes repeatedly, and is on its last legs. What suggestions do you, my brethren (sistren? Is that a word?), have to offer to help me nurse my video card along until I get a new computer in college?

I thank you in advance.

Oi, could the people who have sent me PMs in the last day or so which have not gotten replies resend them? My box was full and I realized it not.

Right, I made a post on Keanu Reeves a while back, and today I saw a movie with Brandy in it. Where have these people gone? If you can think of more celebs who have just plain bit the dust, career-wise, post 'em here. We'll have a laugh about their patheticism and feel better about our lives.
